Product Description

In Where Heaven and Earth Touch, Danny Siegel, a beloved teacher and well-known lecturer and poet, has carefully chosen and translated select passages from classical Jewish texts in the hope that the timeless Jewish values contained in these writings will prompt students to be kind, decent, caring, responsible human beings. During his years of Torah study, Siegel kept notes of the passages that he and his students found most intriguing and stimulating. This book, compiled with the help of those notes, is more than just a remarkable anthology of wise words from Jewish teachers. It is a "call to action" for all Jews to refine and improve their relationships with others and with God through the practice of traditional Jewish values. Siegel's translations are the fruits of a poet's labor to impart both the letter and the spirit of Jewish wisdom to the modern reader. His goal is not only to communicate the ideas of the rabbis and sages to English-language readers, but also to transmit the lyrical beauty of the profoundly moving and inspiring metaphors through which these ideas are expressed. Newcomers to the study of classical Jewish texts will find hours of rewarding learning here. Where Heaven and Earth Touch provides a fascinating glimpse of Jewish wisdom being brought to bear on a wide variety of subjects, including marriage, money, Torah, death, food, and prayer. The anthologized passages will help beginners discover the core values and beliefs that, over the centuries, have spurred Jews to great acts of loving kindness. People who are thoroughly versed in the classical texts will also want this book, either for use as a teaching aid or as a source of personal inspiration. These experts will find themselves enriched and rewarded as they explore the passages that Siegel, himself an expert, has chosen to include. Where Heaven and Earth Touch is at once the "Torah notebook" of a revered teacher and a carefully selected and beautifully translated collection of passages that speak to eternal and transcendent Jewish values.
